    You should probably stop giving away free stuff if a shirt costs 39 bucks. People will forget they have to pay taxes on it and get in trouble.

    Big Deal. 39 bucks is beer money. People love getting their panties twisted these days.

    It’s a good friend of mine John’s company. He has some really cool stuff on his website. The hoodie with the map of Portland on the back is fire emoji FAMS!

    By my count, Phil has about 6 more championships than Pop, and he did it with 2 different iterations of the Bulls and 2 different iterations of the Lakers. Phil was able to get Dennis Rodman to produce for three years. Pop hasn't been able to get shit out of LMA.

    Pop is 68 years old and is only still coaching because he made a promise to LMA in order to get him to sign. No way he's blowing off the Spurs and coming to Portland.

    Actually, Rodman is a great example. Pop couldn't get shit out of Rodman. Phil had him playing some of his best basketball of his career, which helped get them three more titles. That, to me, illustrates the difference between Pop and Phil. The Spurs won 5 titles because they put people around Tim Duncan, and they had sustained success. Phil was able to take players and get the best out of them.

    This thread on Reddit has the text from Rodman's book which mentions Pop and the Spurs. Frankly, I don't think the Spurs win a single championship if they don't luck into Duncan.

    That's Phil the GM. He wasn't coaching in NY. Some coaches can't manage a team.

    Meh. Didn't Isaiah coach/GM/Meddle? I'm sure Phil had a bit of pull when it came to coaching too.

    Bottom line for me is that he's never NOT coached hall of famers.

    Phil's an ego stroker until it's time to write a book. Pop takes no shit and HAMMERS HOFers like Time Duncan and Tony Parker.

    They're cut from a different cloth.

    Hall of Famer isn't really much of a defining characteristic. What championship team doesn't have hall of famers on it?

    The Warriors will have at least two HOFers (Durant/Curry).

    Cavs have LeBron.

    Spurs had Duncan.

    Heat had Wade and LeBron.

    I think most title teams (except for the Pistons which everyone must point out) has a superstar talent, and yet how many HOFers don't have rings? Ewing. Barkley. Malone. Stockton. Reggie Miller. I think if Phil had only won with Jordan/Pippen, I'd be more inclined to give the matchup to Pop, but Phil took a bickering Laker team and won three in a row. Then he took a team with Kobe/Pau and won two in a row. To me, that's much more impressive than winning five with Duncan over a span of 19 seasons.

    I have decided to delete this thread. Okay EVERYBODY OUT OF HERE! GO! SKEDADDLE! SCRAM! BEAT IT!





    The diversion worked. They're chattering about something else.

    Now that they're gone...what will I do with all these worthless $39 t-shirts. I can buy an undershirt for a dollar; why would I want these.
